Hi. We're a married couple who are traveling fulltime. We've been married for 28 years. We have six children and four grandchildren. We're both retired and have a hunger to explore the world's beauty and meet people. Jan was a social worker and I was a musician and a farmer. We have to date successfully staged eight charity events raising in excess of $140,000 going to local charities in Melbourne for the homeless. Some events have helped severely challenged people overseas as well. We love new cultures and learning about different countries and have a deep desire to eat local produce and embrace the local community. We're always happy to pitch in at times too with chores etc. We're extremely clean folks and tidy too 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS gives us the opportunity to embrace and explore the world, enrich our journey by meeting people and learning about you and your country. In addition to traveling on a tight budget, CS has enormous rewards and benefits by interacting and fully embracing local cultures.
